Lebkuchen Schmidt Premium Southern Elise

A taste of the South in every bite! The Southern Elise was crowned Lebkuchen Schmidt’s Lebkuchen of the Year for 2023, and it’s easy to see why. These exceptional Elisen Lebkuchen are made entirely without flour and feature a nut-rich dough infused with the vibrant citrus of Sicilian oranges, warm spices like cinnamon and cardamom, and a hint of mystery thanks to Schmidt’s secret ingredients. Each gingerbread is baked on fine wafer paper and finished with a luxurious dark chocolate coating.

This unique twist on authentic Nuremberg Lebkuchen offers an elegant, slightly exotic flavor—perfect for pairing with coffee, tea, or even dessert wine. Whether you're treating yourself or gifting someone special, the Southern Elise brings a little Mediterranean sunshine to your German Christmas pastry collection.
